Hi I'm a newbie here. Just wondering what the average and/or starting wage is like for RNs and ENs in different countries? Thanks

Great question, why don't you start the ball rolling.
Where are you from , what roles do nurses have in your country?

To make a somewhat fair comparison, you'll have to list examples of cost of living along with wages.
I agree about the cost of living, I feel this person is fishing to see which country is the best to practice based on pay.
I will answer if the spirit is to compare nursing in different countries and not a shopping list of where to apply based on salaries.
I'm not a nurse and I have no intention of becoming one. I work as a caregiver for the elderly. I'm just asking out of curiosity.

Knowing how much they make won't mean anything unless you know the details regarding cost of living in that country/area.I am a Practical Nurse. I make $27.50/hr.
